Spotted Ratings, Monday 2/9/15

WHAT MATTERS:

• FINALS UPDATE: CBS shows Mike and Molly (2.2), Scorpion (2.3) and NCIS: LA (1.7) all adjusted up. AMC got a very good Monday start out of Better Call Saul (1.63). Though down just over half from its post-The Walking Dead preview, it was extremely competitive with NCIS: LA and Castle in the 10/9c hour and it topped all of Monday cable.

• Fox's Monday lineup can't seem to stop the bleeding; Gotham (1.8) hit its third consecutive new series low, while Sleepy Hollow (1.2) also hit a new one this week.

• The penultimate Monday for a very good season of Celebrity Apprentice was seemingly scheduled ill-advisedly, as an 8/7c clip show (1.2) appeared to noticeably damage the new material at 9/8c (1.4). 

• ABC's The Bachelor (2.7) was up yet again, and this point was the first of the season to go up year-to-year (albeit vs. the first 2014 ep to face the Olympics). For once, it seemed to help Castle (1.6) somewhat, as that show hit its best number since the end of Dancing with the Stars.

• CBS was very slightly down across the board with 2 Broke Girls (2.3), Mike and Molly (2.1), Scorpion (2.2) and NCIS: Los Angeles (1.6).

• And on the CW, it was a noteworthy evening for Jane the Virgin (0.6), growing from its low-end The Originals (0.5) lead-in in 18-49 for the first time. Jane also had another W18-34 series high (1.0).
